My wife is too strong, Mr. Chu can't stand it

He gave Ye Fan some appropriate advice, and after sending Ye Fan away, he immediately told Ye Jin about his dream.

After confirming Ye Jin for a few seconds, he hurriedly carried the sleepy Ye Jin to see Ye Fan at the hour of Yin the next day.

When Ye Fan heard that Ye Jin had dreamed again, he immediately met with Ye Jin and asked, "Xiao Qi, tell father what you dreamed about?"

Ye Jin rubbed his eyes dazedly. "I dreamt of a lot of paper, white as snow. There were also strange cups that shone brightly in the sun, as beautiful as gems."

Ye Fan looked at Chu Heng strangely after hearing this, "What do you mean, Xiao Qi?"

"I don't know either, but the Seventh Prince's dream was truly miraculous. I thought it might be useful, so I came to report it."

Ye Fan sat back to think, and ordered someone to bring rice paper. Where was the white on the dark yellow paper?

And that cup, he had never heard of it.

Ye Jin was still dozing off, feeling very sleepy.

Ye Fan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the answer. He could only look at Ye Jin in Chu Heng's arms again and reached out to take her over.

Ye Jin leaned in Ye Fan's arms, reached out to grab the rice paper, and grabbed it without any softness.

He let go with some disgust and hugged Ye Fan's neck, "The white one looks good, and there are so many, so many that can print a lot of books."

Ye Fan looked at Chu Heng in surprise, "What does Xiao Qi mean?"

"Like reading."

Chu Heng reminded that the ancients attached great importance to reading, but the imperial paper of this period was extremely precious and not many people were literate.

Ye Fan became interested and hugged Ye Jin to ask a lot of questions. Ye Jin also answered as Chu Heng instructed.

The process of papermaking, which also involves printing, greatly reduces the cost of books, and selling books can also bring in a huge amount of money.

There is also the manufacturing of glass, which is a rare thing that the poor cannot afford, but it is absolutely rare for the rich. It can also be sold to other countries, which can definitely solve urgent problems.

Listening to Ye Jin's clear and logical explanation, Ye Fan also felt that it was worth a try. He immediately ordered Chang Fu to arrange people and let Chu Heng take Ye Jin to find the person who made the new paper and glass.

Chu Heng took his men to ask around, and luckily they were all near the imperial city. Only after finding them did Chu Heng suddenly realize that it was not them who really made it, but he taught them.

Chu Heng didn't hesitate and immediately told the method of making it.

Papermaking was certainly possible, but Chu Heng was not so sure about glass, so he could only let the old craftsman study it slowly.

Chu Heng focused on papermaking and printing. Papermaking took a long time, but stereotype printing was much faster.

We asked the workers to carve the plates and commonly used characters, and then typeset and print them, and the process was surprisingly fast.

Many workers worked together to carve the words, and in just a few days, Chu Heng got half of the newly printed book to show Ye Fan.

Looking at the neatly written words on the paper, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel happy. He asked Chu Heng, "If the papermaking technology can be greatly improved, more and more people will be able to read and become the pillars of the country in the future."

"Your Majesty is wise, and you can also order the establishment of a library. After deducting costs and labor, the remaining profits can fill the national treasury."

"Not bad, not bad, this is indeed a good idea, but..."

Ye Fan looked at the book in his hand and was afraid that this was not enough.

Chu Heng bowed again, "I do have a plan, Your Majesty, please see if it is feasible."

"Master, tell me about it."

Chu Heng is a serious businessman and he is very good at making money.

He stood up and said, "I have also observed these days that the embroiderers in the palace are very skilled, but in fact the palace does not need so many embroiderers.

The common people generally respect His Majesty. If a palace embroiderer leaves the palace and opens an embroidery studio, the wealthy and powerful people will surely seek her out and may even bid up the price.”

Ye Fan frowned and looked at Chu Heng, "Master, tell me in detail."

"It's needless to say that the embroiderers in the palace have great skills. More importantly, they embroider for the nobles in the palace. If the nobles like something, it's naturally good and will definitely be sought after.

The embroiderer then took in apprentices, passed on the skills, and opened branches outside the imperial city, earning a lot of profit.

Moreover, these things will only cause scrambles among the rich and powerful, so ordinary people will not suffer any losses.

After deducting wages and shop fees from the profits, the remaining amount will be added to the national treasury so that it can be used to deal with natural disasters or man-made disasters in the future.

Master also said that there are many barbarian tribes outside the imperial dynasty that do not have the cultural heritage of the imperial dynasty. If we can exchange the imperial dynasty's unique things for their unique things.

For example, horses and treasures. Horses can be used for military purposes, and treasures can be made into fine jewelry. They are taken care of by the nobles in the palace, and those who want to curry favor with them will definitely be willing to buy them. The silver they earn will be the foundation for the future strength of the dynasty.

In fact, it is not just between countries. The empire has a vast territory and there are differences between regions.

What is available here may not be available elsewhere, and what is not available is always more precious."

This is indeed a way to make money, which can solve the urgent problem of empty treasury.

Ye Fan discussed with Chu Heng for a long time, but he was too busy with state affairs to do it himself, and he did not trust others.

Chu Heng suggested that the matter should be handled by a queen in the palace, and she must not have a powerful family background, but must have sufficient status.

After some thought, Ye Fan promoted a low-ranking concubine to the position of concubine, and adopted the seventh prince Ye Jin as his own.

Having a prince and being promoted to the position of concubine, the emperor's favor is her greatest reliance.

Chu Heng had to admit that Ye Fan was really smart and courageous, but he decided to give it a try one day.

Chu Heng did not dare to delay these things, and immediately started his life of a hard-working ox and a horse, taking care of both ends.

The newly promoted Concubine Rong brought the palace embroiderers out of the palace to open an embroidery room. Because they were under the name of Concubine Rong and the palace embroiderers, they attracted many customers as soon as they opened.

In addition, the embroiderer's embroidery skills were indeed outstanding, and soon they were snapped up by the dignitaries in Beijing.

The store's cash flow was delivered to Ye Fan every day. He was happy to see it and gave Rong Fei a lot of power, asking her to run the business well.

Rong Fei was also a dutiful woman and didn't dare to play any ulterior motives. After all, Ye Fan's rewards were real, and the more often Ye Fan came to her courtyard, the higher her status in the palace became. Now with the favored Seventh Prince, her life in the second half of her life would definitely not be bad.

But if she had any ulterior motives and made a mistake, she would be doomed. She knew what was more important.

Papermaking has existed for a long time, but it has been improved with each generation, so the process was very smooth.

The paper produced is softer and whiter, and these new papers can be used for different purposes.

Moreover, Chu Heng's method added some appropriate tools, which greatly shortened the production cycle.

Ye Fan did not hand over the affairs of the bookstore to Concubine Rong, but instead entrusted it to a civil official whom he trusted. With the name of a literary master, the bookstore would be more likely to sell well. This is the celebrity effect.

But Ye Fan did not forget the contributions of Ye Jin and the workers on both sides. He gave them many rewards and confirmed Ye Jin's identity as the Son of God in his heart. He just needed an opportunity.

Chu Heng was not surprised. He was also anxious and wanted to confirm Ye Jin's identity as the Son of God as soon as possible.

But the time has not come yet, so he still has to wait.

After making arrangements for these days, Chu Heng began to study the two black stones. He had to make a pair of bracelets for Ye Jin.

He found the carving tools and started working, and also went to learn from the old jade craftsman in the palace.

First, draw the size of the bracelet, then carefully knock off the excess. Surprisingly, the black stone is not that hard.

Chu Heng was working on it when Ye Jin came in with Yuanbao. He was surprised to see the black stone shattered so easily.

Ye Jin sighed, "Brother is really amazing, he can break this thing."
